Ya know, I heard that Sony came up with this remote that has a button to make it just that. . .silent.  I can't believe how far technology has advanced!

I don't know if I read Lori correctly, but I thought she was just trying to figure out what were her son's chances of survival, although in a verrry bitchy way.  I guess that's giving a worthless character too much benefit of doubt. 

You beat me to it.  If anyone would be prepared for high-stress situations, it would be police officers.

There should be an eye roll count with every review.
